The Deal: Travel Happy This November

Oct 30, 2015

Fall is a happy time of year at RDU. From the return of pumpkin-flavored, well… everything, to an exclusive savings event, there is much to be gained from arriving early for your flight and visiting The Shops of RDU.

From November 1-30, The Shops of RDU will feature big savings on retail and restaurant items throughout the terminals. Find coupons inside each store or on columns along the concourse (like the one pictured). Simply take the coupon along with your item to the cashier and enjoy the savings.

The Travel Happy Savings event is the perfect opportunity to:

  • Get an early start on holiday shopping
  • Treat yourself with a sit-down meal or spa service
  • Take care of shopping you’d normally do when you get home
  • Purchase that “something extra” that catches your eye.

All of The Shops of RDU stores ship items at cost for you with no extra fees. Learn more about this event at rdu.com/happy.
